Is there someone in your life who frequently annoys you? Here's how St. Faustina dealt with those who troubled her.

Saint Faustina prayed the Rosary every day. One time, she wrote:… [One time] I saw many demons. One of these tried to vex me; taking the form of a cat, he kept throwing himself onto my bed and on my feet, and he was quite heavy, as if [weighing] a ton. I kept praying the rosary all the while, and toward dawn these beings vanished, and I was able to get some sleep. (412)

Father Joe tells how Francisco was a "little contemplative"; he would retreat to the attic of his house to escape the crowds, be quiet, and listen to God.All of us need to be alone and to pray at times, as Jesus did often.
